February 7, 2007 - The FlexRay rest bus simulation provides a simulation environment for one or more control devices, so that they can be tested independently of other nodes. This includes the generation of message traffic that is necessary for the device to be tested and reaction to messages.Based on the powerful PC Interfaces for FlexRay and CAN, the FlexRay CCM, IXXAT offers a tool for the analysis and residual bus simulation with full FIBEX support.The IXXAT FlexRay CCM supports real-time rest bus simulation directly on the hardware via a Linux-based embedded programming environment. The code to be processed is dynamically loaded in kernel mode to the FlexRay CCM and processed.
A framework and C-interfaces are available for this.It is also possible to control the embedded residual bus simulation via the PC with data transfer, as is stand-alone operation (i.e. operation of the FlexRay CCMs without a PC).
For low real-time requirements i.e. when response times of 10-20 ms are sufficient, the rest bus simulation environment via the .net interface of the MultibusAnalyser is available. Both simulation types can also be operated in parallel.
